Skipping lots of posts this weekend to ask for some prayers for my grandma. She had a massive stroke yesterday and can't speak. She regained movement in both sides of her body but no talking yet. I go see her every Thursday and she helped raise me when I was growing with since my Mom was a single mom. I am absolutely heartbroken. She's in the neurological icu currently hoping. Doctors are hopeful she will walk again but are doubtful she will ever speak She's 89 and lived a long healthy life but were just devastated. My grandpa told me he was so sad this morning because he woke up and reached for her hand and she wasn't there. I lost it. True unconditional love after 69 years of marriage. Ah I'm just a mess getting old sucks. We took the kids to the pumpkin farm yesterday because I know she would want us to but I felt so guilty. Ah life:/
hugs.
My great grandmother uses a dry erase board to communicate. Maybe your gramma could do that?
I hope she heals quickly and better than the drs are thinking!
Lots of hugs and prayers @chichi589 ! My grandparents celebrate their 67th wedding anniversary on Wednesday. That kind of love is an awesome thing But it's so sad as things get harder and harder for them. Praying that she'll have a good recovery!

Okay another blood in stool post; today DD had bloody mucous in her stool, and I'm kind of freaked out. I emailed the doctor, and if it keeps happening I'll call tomorrow to see about taking her in. She's acting normally and seems happy, but it's scary all the same. Hopefully it's nothing. Any thoughts? She's EBF, but DH did give her a little taste of an applesauce pouch today. It was at just about the exact same time as the first bloody mucous, so it seems unlikely that it could have been the cause
I'm one of those people that have been following the board since I got pregnant. I'm not really sure why I haven't participated before now, but I just wanted to tell you guys how much I enjoy the conversations! @dani+california@Vinny424 and @AprilMay9 you guys make me laugh out loud. Seriously, there are so many of you that i have learned a lot of great tricks from and have made my day a little brighter
My daughter, Caroline, was born 4-14-14. She's the cutest thing I've ever seen!
I'm just going to start posting and hope to fit in here with all of you! I'm not gonna lie, I was also tired of accidentally hitting reply and not being able to post anything :-h
Thanks for reading! I hope it formatted from mobile okay. Here's a picture of me and my sweetie, Caroline!
@joytomylifex it's almost done! You can do it! I just started my in law visit. We are visiting though. We haven't told anyone except BIL ( who we are staying with), that we are here or that we are even coming.
Aaand I've been up for two and a half hours and counting. This poor kiddo won't sleep longer than 10 minutes, on or off me. At least DH got home last night, as soon as 6am hits I'm tagging him in and he better man up.
I have a confession. I fell off the wagon and had soda. And I am so bloated I feel 9month pregnant again.
Try not to beat yourself up. Jump back on and keep trying. You're under a lot of stress, it takes a ton more effort to keep at it but you're doing great.

I feel like death. I've had to change two poppy diapers this morning and it was so hard not to vomit. Ugh. I am so sick and nothing is helping. I hope I don't develop hyperemesis gravadarium again
Eta- hugs to everyone. Hope you find your ring @mamrotu73! T&p's coming your way @chichi589.
I had never heard if slender man until I saw dr Phil . I guess he's some fucked up superhero on the internet
I've been good about using My fitness pal lately but I still am having a hard time with cooking and baking too much . I want to make butternut squash soup today but really should not as there is lots of leftovers from yesterday's homemade lasagna Surprisingly I haven't gained weight . Haven't lost either tho mind you . Also making conscious effort to drink snore water during the day instead of all caffeinated beverages
MIL is here everyday. She thinks she and DH are going to watch the kids while I go wait in line at the welfare office. Excuse me? Seems backasswards to me. I have the boobs, and I'm the only one applying for jobs, and it only takes one of me to watch two kids and two of them to watch two kids. Also said she'd have to live here 3 days a week when I go back to work to help DH watch the girls because he can't do it alone.
WTF is Slenderman?? Young kids are sacrificing their friends in his name? Holy shit.
He's just this tall, slender freaky man thing dressed in all black, and if he comes near you, you die or something. He's supposedly been captured in photos and things, dating back to when photographs were just starting. Never heard of anyone sacrificing anyone in his name though??

(((Hugs))) RDR....that seems so messed up. Does hubby just not have the motivation to do it himself? That way you can stay home and watch/feed the kids. I feel like you have been working your ass off trying to get things in order and he is just sitting on his. Wishing you the best of luck mama!
He hates people and he's an ass so he's not capable of waiting at a public office. Also his mom has always done everything for him so why would he do anything for himself?
I read about that slender man thing one night while Josh was gone and it freaked me the eff out. I read a tweet from one of their groups saying "Just because you close your blinds doesn't mean I can't see you" and I had the hardest time sleeping. LOL I scare easily though, especially when I'm home alone.
@RedDawnsRevenge has he made any indication that he intends to look for work or get a job? Sounds like it's time to light a major fire under his ass.
Nope. He claims he was offered $22 an hour at a speed shop in NC if he had tools. I told him last Thursday to call the guy back, and convineintly he couldn't find the number. I'm not sure what else I can do to motivate him.

Too bad you can't get him to watch the kids on his own without MIL for a day or two - that should send him running back to work.
@hvmom2b That's the same story I saw this morning re:Slender man. Why do 12 y-olds know about this stuff?? @J&NL Slender man has groups? Is there a following? That is really messed up. They showed a "picture" on TV and now I'm scared of him, too...
@steph1977 yeah, apparently there are some crazies out there that kill for him? I know he isn't real but the thought of some idiot teeny boppers coming to stab me is scary because let's face it.. they're idiots and will probably do it.

In 11 hours they'll be gone and I can have my happy life back and pray they never return... I've missed all the weekend fun in RTT!
Currently he's snoring in the gift from god that is the mamaroo and I'm watching full house and contemplating food

Waiting at the clinic to have my TB read so I can turn this physical form in so I can go to work.
So sorry you are going through this.
